[QUOTE="AAH, post: 103586, member: 543"] Hi Ash Welcome to ACL Don't go with LOR. It's expensive and doesn't do anything like what Xlights is capable of. Xlights is free and a number of the developers hang out in ACL. It looks like most of what is in use is 12V pixel strip. You can tell as there's 3 leds per pixel. Each of the Bunnings spiral tomato thingys uses a 5m length of strip and the megatree looks like it uses 12 5m strips. The house outline looks like it's about another 20 5m strip. The leaping arches look like they are probably seeder tube with maybe a 5m length of strip in each 1. The 12V strip is likely to be 10 pixel (30 led) per metre or maybe higher. Assuming that it's 10 pixel/m then there's a little better than 150m of strip in use which is about 1500 pixels or a little over what you can get out of 1 output of lots of controllers. My rPi-28D+ (2 outputs), my HE123 (48 outputs), Falcon F16 (16 outputs), Falcon PiCap (2 outputs), Advatek Pixlite 16 (16 outputs) and many others.There's also some nodes (on tree topper and spinner) and probably modules involved (in the candy canes) so probably getting towards 2000 pixels total. The leaping arches are (I'm guessing) 5m WS2811 10 pixel per metre strip. Each arch is 50 pixels at 10cm resolution.

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
